Google's Gboard puts search in the iPhone keyboard (CNET Update)
2016-05-12
is Google trying to take over the iPhone
Google just made a better keyboard for
iOS
say hello to G bored now in the Apple
App Store it lets you search right from
inside your keyboard without having to
switch apps and then you can quickly
paste your results right into a chat you
can search for a nearby restaurant and
send over the details of where to meet
up the keyboard also can send YouTube
videos and things like your flight
details the search can also comb through
Google images animated gifts and emoji
tap the smiley face at the bottom and
you can search for emoji icons and
animated gifs to match your feelings
although there may be some bug's to work
out this keyboard does swipe typing so
you could just glide your finger over
the keys to spell words lifting your
finger will start the next word this
keyboard works in any app so you can use
it with email or even YouTube which is
interesting because YouTube is rolling
out a messaging chat feature inside of
its own app so when you're browsing for
cat videos you can stay in the app to
keep chatting about cats in a thread
with your friends
wired first reported the change which is
said to be only going live for a small
number of YouTube users at first the
whole point of both of these apps is to
keep you inside the world of Google
without having to bounce between apps
that's it for now I'm Bridget Carey and
you can stay updated at
